I have a few songs I want recorded. It's just me singing with my acoustic guitar. Am I better off going to a studio or getting a good usb microphone?

Answer
I would say that this depends on a couple of factors

1. What computer do you use and do you have audio software?
2. Do you have any recording experience up to now?
3. What speakers/headphones will you be using to monitor?

The good thing about buying your own mic would be trial and error and you can record on a regular basis and build up knowledge of recording techniques...

However, if you are looking at releasing a professional quality set of recordings and have no experience then it would definitely pay you to go into a studio to record.

A studio can charge anything from £100-£350 a day so pick carefully!

If you are looking at learning the recording process then the book 'Practical recording techniques By Bartlett and Bartlett.

Below is a link to an online copy of the book to preview

Hope this helps!

You shouldnt always go for popular brands, got to guitar center (guessing u live in USA) and try some out. It's best to play before you bubuy you dont want to waste your money...
